We're trying to discuss actual translations here.

But on the actual topic, I think those upscaled images might actually be making it harder to read because its so blurry. Might be better to post them at actual resolution and let people download and upscale them themselves if needed.

I don't think there's much anyone here can do about that.

They're cropped and resized, but actually even at the original resolution the font is just as smudged as in here. I think Namco took a font set in a much higher original size, then resized it to 8x8 pixels and then kept the resizing artifacts as shades of grey in the 4/8-color palette. You should take a look at Fantastic Children (GBA)/ Zoids DS who also did this, even with the whole joyo kanji character set (it wasn't pretty, to put it mildly).

Stupid question: why does someone who can't read Japanese NOT want a translation, but only the Japanese text?While I admire the "do it myself" gung ho attitude, turning down human translations in favor of Google is... umm.. foolhardy? Yes, that's the nice way to put what I was thinking.

Same thoughts here, unless if he is making a table file I do not see a point. He could also be sending a script to a translator, but for that to be the case, he would more than likely be putting this into a language other than English. I am confused now

True...but I am doing this for fun. This is my favorite game, thought. I just like to collect Japanese text. By the way, USC is working on it, I think.
